My Friend’s Band Last night I went to a show, my friend got me to go To see his band I had never heard before Every song had a catchy hook, every song was by the book A killer beat, vocal duos, and screaming lead guitar solos And after the show, a record company man Said he wanted to talk to them The next day they were on the road; they were booked playin’ shows From New York to LA He said… they were the next big thing! My friend’s band is really freakin’ cool They sell out all their shows, get played on the radio My friend’s band rocks really freakin’ hard They jump around on stage, they get paid and they get laid! I asked my friend what is it like To be a big rock star He said that it was great, you get to play music all day Everyone watches everything you do, and all the girls like you too! My friend’s band is really freakin’ cool They sell out all their shows, get played on the radio My friend’s band rocks really freakin’ hard They jump around on stage, they get paid and they get laid! And maybe someday we’ll Get to open up for them in some big stadium But for now we’ll have to Bum off people we know, hope kids come to our shows Man I really envy my friend’s band My friend’s band My friend’s band My friend’s band Is really freakin’ cool © 2017 The Short Necked Giraffes

I Wanna Be A Mud Hippie! I wanna be a mud I wanna be a mud I wanna be a mud hippie! I wanna quit workin’ for the man Move up north any way I can I wanna live with the birds and the trees Yeah I wanna be a mud hippie! Don’t wanna drive no fancy cars I’ll ride my bike no matter how far I’ll wear the same clothes all week long ‘Cause I wanna be a mud hippie! I’ll grow my hair out long, Sing lots of protest songs I can’t wait for my brand new life Maybe I will find a girl, she will be my hippie wife! I wanna live on a big commune Lay in the grass and stare at the moon No one can tell me what to do ‘Cause I wanna be a mud hippie I wanna protest the economy On the corner of Height and Ashbury Peace and love and sex and beans Yeah I wanna be a mud hippie! I don’t want to conform Don’t want to be the norm No one can tell me what to do If they tell me what to wear I’ll just tell ‘em I don’t care! I wanna be a mud I wanna be a mud I wanna be a mud hippie! © 2017 The Short Necked Giraffes

Only One 03:08
Only One I have found the girl for me She’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen She’s the only one for me and I’m the only one for her I take her out on Friday nights She makes everything all right I can’t stand a day without her We never want to be apart And I never thought she would be Into someone like me (but it doesn’t matter, no it doesn’t matter) But now I see she’s the only one for me And I’m the only one for her Some nights I just can’t sleep I twist and turn under my sheets I can’t get her out of my head She’s so freakin’ cool She understands, she knows She comes to watch me at my shows, Makes me feel good on bad days Picks me up when I’m down And I never thought she would be Into someone like me (but it doesn’t matter, no it doesn’t matter) But now I see she’s the only one for me And I’m the only one for her Sometimes I get confused I don’t know what to do Feelin’ kinda dumb not knowin’ How to see things through But when I’m down she’s always there To help me up again I know I can always count on her She is always there for me and I am there for her © 2017 The Short Necked Giraffes

about

Almost A Six-Pack is SNG’s first official EP release, and embodies the third-wave ska sound everyone remembers from the 90’s, but with a modern flavor. Catchy horn lines in “My Friend’s Band” and “Mud Hippie” complement the personal lyrics in “Only One” and “Cool Kids”, and their well-arranged cover of “Ghostbusters” will have you singing right along! Weather you are a long-time fan of ska or just discovering the genre, this EP will have you hooked at the sound of the first trumpet!
